"Young Master, according to the information on the file, Assistant Shell was abducted when she was young."

"

Just as Sam Sorrento talked about it, Maddox Yardley happened to be reading the same thing.

"However, because Assistant Shell was different from the other children, she was kept alone in a small dark room. According to the police, she was locked in the room for three days. At that time, she wasn't given any water or food, and no one visited her."

When he heard this, Maddox's hand, which was holding the documents, tightened silently.

"Three days later, the human trafficker went into the room and beat her up. According to the police, she was already at her last breath when they found her. It was a race against time to rescue her from death." Sam paused and then spoke cautiously, "...Assistant Shell was only around four to five years old when that happened..."

She was starved for three days without even a sip of water when she was just four to five years old...

It was strange. Maddox felt as if something was pounding on his heart. He crumpled the paper. Sam looked at him silently and reminded him,

"Young Master, are you alright? You don't look well." Upon hearing what Sam said, Maddox glowered at Sam. Sam zipped his mouth instantly. "Assistant Shell was probably traumatized after being locked up in the room. After the blackout, the darkness reminded her of her past."

He couldn't imagine how scary it must have been for a such a young child.

How did she endure such a traumatic experience?

Maddox suddenly recalled the moment when she first entered the Yardley family. When she heard him telling her to get out of the Yardley family, the look in her eyes was filled with helplessness. Nevertheless, she didn't give up and still negotiated the conditions for an opportunity to stay.

"Let's go to the hospital." Maddox uttered.

Maddox threw the documents aside and wheeled himself out.

In the hospital.

Kimberly Shell was still asleep. Auntie Cherry, who had been by her side the whole time, hadn't seen her open her eyes. The doctor came to check and found that she was too weak, and decided to give her an intravenous infusion.

Maddox came into the room before the drip was done. Auntie Cherry immediately got up.
